Tina Dorner is a Forest of Dean based photographer who joined the Adult and community learning centre as a photography tutor in 2016. She was originally self-taught in photography, owned an overworked Kodak Instamatic followed by a couple of Russian cameras and learnt through mistakes!

ABOUT 1:1 TUTORIALS
1:1 Tutorials with a friendly and patient photographer are the best way to pick up on your digital photography and progress at your own pace.

It doesnt matter which camera you own - I can help you understand the theory behind operating you camera to help you take control of its features and settings - I have had plenty of experience with film too.
